Replacing trim with knee pads from X5M?

It took about 7 days for the parts to arrive from Germany and the cost was ~$265 each side.

I am going to try to install them this weekend. It looks like there are two screws holding the trim in place. For those who already completed the swap, was it just a matter of removing the panel around the shifter and I drive control unit to access the screws and then snapping the clips in? Any tips would be appreciated.

Karzkewl, can you tell me the part numbers for the knee pads you got? I am looking for the same black ones. Thanks Mike

Just FYI price on these nearly doubled. If you can get a pair under $650 consider yourself very lucky.

Thanks, yeah hoping my buddy can help out thru realoem.com, if not definitely paying bay area $$$s. Cheers!
